A tutorial on another ReactOS installation method which involves RAM boot, possible since 0.4.11 release. This method allows installing on modern devices, where only USB boot from xHCI ports is possible (mostly a case in modern notebooks).

The freeldr.ini used in this video: https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1qVsIVbImNbKloStHj0xLsxzqSv3ZcZU6
(obviously you have to rename it to freeldr.ini)
You can extract freeldr.sys from BootCD or LiveCD (named as setupldr.sys, you need to rename it).
Installfreeldr utility (won't be updated):
